Idea of a playoff alliance-Tampa and Anaheim

I was just thinking of this. Tampa and us have a lot of similarities. The areas are similar, the teams are relatively similar, they have OB, they have Hockeyfan02 who is a Duck/Tampa fan...:)

Why not eh? :D The Sens and Preds have a playoff alliance...why can't we have one too? I have yet to ask the Tampa board, but I am sure that they will accept once you (if you) guys jump on the band wagon. :teach::yo:

What this will entail is we will support each other no matter how far our teams go. You can watch the games, sport their avatars...anything ya want. Some of you might not agree with this because of the draft choice...I say whatevs. If this is a bad idea...well then I'm sorry. :biglaugh: My bad.

Go Ducks and Lightning.

Why not eh?

Because we have their 1st round pick.

EDIT: Didn't see that you mentioned the draft pick, DFC.

I love the way Tampa Plays and the way Tortorella coaches I can't help but root for them in the east.

I vote for an alliance with Soviet Russia. In Soviet Russia, government win games for you.

Every other team can kiss my ass. This is playoff hockey, there are no alliances.

I'd be for it. Tampa Bay and the Islanders are the two teams from the east I like.

Couldn't possibly agree more. Panthers and Ducks are my 2 NHL teams. :D I don't wanna see TB or ATL go anywhere this year. GO DUCKS! (And GO CATS next season!)

I don't know if that playoff success system has been implemented yet. So, if we get a top 20 pick as long as they don't win the cup, I'm all for it. If the pick rises every round they advance, Go Devils.

plus, i just hate how the east coast teams get so much more credit and attention (example no ducks on VS. which is good if you get fsnw/2 or kdoc)

Yea Id rather the sabres

I have nothing against the Bolts. However, I'd like to see the Ducks derive maximum benefit from the fact that they hold TB's #1 pick. Accordingly, the sooner they lose, the better. On the other hand, to me at least, the Devils are a scarier team, especially with the way Brodeur has performed under pressure the last few years. Seeing the Devils out of it would be nice.

There's nothing to be gained, though, by rooting for the Sabres. They'd have home ice advantage against us. Considering the fact that EVERY one of the seven games in the 2003 finals was won by the Home Team, home ice can be a huge advantage.

While I'm not expecting it to happen, I'll be thrilled if Buffalo doesn't win the Eastern Conference.
